$TRIP just keeps drifting lower Chart looking pretty ugly... but soon to receive ~70% of market cap in cash from a divestiture Hmm... https://t.co/id7F8fQ7PS
$GME has 50%+ leases expiring in FY2026 and another 24% in FY2027 Maybe some risks in re-leasing at higher costs, but this is a huge advantage to walk away from unprofitable or underperforming stores fast https://t.co/mbsvLtgudI https://t.co/peHc0ImMzs

Here’s some color, via an options desk: Late Friday & Tuesday there was substantial FLEX call buying across mult AI cos ($CRWV, $AMD, $BE, $INTC, $SNDK, $SKHY, $DRAM. Trades represented $1.1B of delta/$5.8M vega. Total option premium was ~$315M. Buyer didn’t seem price sensitive. https://t.co/qCL8RnxHbY

$HTT: Unlocking the Cash Box A Chinese cash box trading at a fraction of book value and even net cash. The company has been monetising this discount by buying back huge amounts of stock. Founder and CEO owns 50% and may look at privatising the company as the free float shrinks. https://t.co/RYfc4oAF7h
@evanspiegel @elonmusk ... Lets make it happen! $SNAP $SPCX https://t.co/lInJY54AtQ
Think bigger. What about cellular connectivity via Starlink...removes the need for wifi or phone tethering. Flatters Evan's desire to be less screen addicted and more real world connected bc again we take the phone out of the equation. Massive top of funnel sales channel for Elon and Starlink wrt younger generations. $SNAP
@AhmetBiIir I haven’t followed $QMCO much, why is it back up so much?
Commercial printing company Cimpress $CMPR authorized a $200m buyback, ~10% of its market cap. Cimpress is a neat company. Often still viewed as a 'good-old-days' model, but steadily shifting the mix from commoditized items (e.g., business cards) to higher value categories like signage, apparel, and packaging, targeting the SME online segment.

If $APP e-commerce push is working then watch out. This could be a monster https://t.co/JUTqrG1WZH
@justinian1800 Thanks for this. This is the kind of stuff I like to see on this platform and largely what I have seen from my research on $APP.

$VLO $MPC monster moves, and crack spreads continue to blow out, foreign fight for distillate capacity etc....but the cure for prices is always high prices. Seems like we might be nearing the top for the refiners
@JeffMacke When does this get acquired by $BSP?
ASML’s expanding EUV customer list includes Samsung, while 2026 guidance calls for about 65 low-NA systems and EUV revenue growth above 45%.
Like the Space sector Run up to the $SPCX ipo, largely driven by bankers and VCs pumping the sector, is it not logical to assume a similar setup for AI with the Anthropic IPO, or are we past that?
$RUM was a great entry last week, $NUAI now is probably the only one I see

@GatorBizAlum yes, for anyone holding $BE here you have to believe in the longer term bull case. i do but no guarantees

Rate sensitive / consumer spending names starting to really take on water with rates and oil up....Game theory probably suggests the administration is likely to pull more tricks out of their sleeves leading into the midterms to try and increase affability and control rates (at least for talking points). --- Already witnessing a vert activist treasury secretary that (at least so far) did not succeed with his 6B buyback (but next month when the TGA refunding comes out I imagine he will use a much bigger mechanism to manipulate rates through the election) --- I also think the fed is much less likely to raise rates then the market is pricing (the committee members even beyond Warsh do not have the will to raise (Powell, Williams, etc) --- I also believe they will announce some sort of housing plan to have as a talking point for the closing stretch of these raises (down payment assistance, rate support, mass housing supply push on federal lands, etc). Does not matter if they never follow through, but something to come in mind as we play out the coming months I think some select housing plays that are blown out on weak starts, high rates, poor affordability, high commodity prices, etc. could be putting in attractive setups to go the other way for the coming months to election ($QXO, $LOW, $BLDR, $SSD)
Sunbelt $SUNB shares have been somewhat pressured by the selloff in industrials. Analysts are also updating their models and finding that IFRS EBITDA might be an overstatement relative to EBITDA under US GAAP. Mid-term guidance was underwhelming, with a predicted 5% rental revenue CAGR and 8%+ EPS CAGR. This is a good business, and it's been a 100-bagger for a reason, but for an industrial to do well, your end markets have to grow.
ServiceNow expects AI to rise from 9.5% to 30% of revenue by 2030, supporting $30–32 billion in subscription revenue and margins above 80%.

@SowingAlphaSeed @ScroogeCap I nerded that subject out back in 2018, when i used to dive deeper on things. $GOGO
Ahh, I see we are back to selling everything and buying semis. So much fun, I love investing. At least this time I have a small $SOXS short and a $DXYZ long to make me feel a bit better.
Putting this out there: I’m betting that $OCC will go green today. If it doesn’t, a top shelf shot is on me for everybody who comes to the next @GeoInvesting / @MSmicrocaps in-person Conference. Hopefully low attendance or lots of “thanks, I’m on a drinking hiatus.” 🤣
$HAWK now trading around $17.15, or -34% below its $26 IPO price. Initial lock-up expired last week, but I think it is unlikely many shares will come to market at these prices. $HAWK is also being added to the $IWM. $HAWK continues to have strong defense tech tailwinds, and they now have $500 mm+ of cash on hand. Valuation is now much more attractive and below the $18.86 price of their pre-IPO Series E financing.
OH nooo. $OCC .. flat backlog. It will never keep growing. Backlog cadence: •Oct. 2025: $7.3M •Jan. 2026: $10.4M •Apr. 2026: $13.3M •Jul. 2026: $13.5M Half glass full: they maintained record backlog levels. Can’t believe I’m actually defending OCC, now.🤣
@Maku_Capital It's a long list, some secular dynamics, some specific to $CASY, and competition, lots of it. This is not the right platform for me to lay out my entire short thesis....

Anyone have thoughts on $B going into the North America spin post-Newmont settlement? Feels like it’s been a pretty consistent laggard vs. the gold peers despite the potential value unlock. Curious what I’m missing. https://t.co/0qYNp2oMpe
@CDInewsletter Nice piece. Absolutely agree on owning ones with strong brands/balance sheets like $HSY over the optically cheaper ones that are dividend cut risks. Also quite remarkable how well $KOF has done, as you mentioned, versus the U.S./Canada peers.
